Top-down feedback in cortex is critical for guiding sensory processing, which has
prominently been formalized in the theory of hierarchical predictive coding (hPC). However …

Recent years have seen a growing interest in inhibitory interneurons and their circuits. A
striking property of cortical inhibition is how tightly it balances excitation. Inhibitory currents …

Optoelectronic memristors (OMs) have emerged as a promising optoelectronic
Neuromorphic computing paradigm, opening up new opportunities for neurosynaptic …

Tinnitus is a phantom auditory sensation that reduces quality of life for millions of people
worldwide, and for which there is no medical cure. Most cases of tinnitus are associated with …

Synapses are highly plastic and are modified by changes in patterns of neural activity or
sensory experience. Plasticity of cortical excitatory synapses is thought to be important for …

Oxytocin is a neuropeptide important for social behaviors such as maternal care and parent–
infant bonding. It is believed that oxytocin receptor signaling in the brain is critical for these …

Hebb postulated that, to store information in the brain, assemblies of excitatory neurons
coding for a percept are bound together via associative long-term synaptic plasticity. In this …

Correlational evidence in humans suggests that selective difficulties hearing in noisy, social
settings may reflect premature auditory nerve degeneration. Here, we induced primary …

The balance between excitatory and inhibitory (E and I) synapses is thought to be critical for
information processing in neural circuits. However, little is known about the spatial principles …

Diverse inhibitory neurons in the mammalian brain shape circuit connectivity and dynamics
through mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. Inhibitory plasticity can establish …
